I go here everyday before work for a coffee. They are amazing, they remember my order & they are quick & efficient. Their coffee is beautiful & so is the food! I am a celiac & they are very careful with cross contamination & understand my allergy & how careful I need to be. Never had a bad experience here. Would highly recommend!!

We always stop here, especially for the jumbo size coffees! Highly recommend it. Great team, and friendly service. And special thanks to Shauna for thinking of my kids and recommending us to stop in at 'Swap Itt' as well!

I dropped in to get my car washed and expected an ordinary self-serve coffee from a machine - as the two local dominant car wash players have receded to, and WOW was I impressed by Mug Shots. I ordered poached eggs & bacon on toast and it was presented with Tomato & Spinach. The barista made coffee was fine. The friendliness and breakfast sublime.

Also happy and smiling, friendly people. Great coffee and the food is very healthy and delishious! Highly recommend for a meeting with colleagues or a nice brunch area with friend's and family. Also the protein ball's are great when you are on the run and you need something to keep you going, they also have slices and other healthy "naughty" treats to curb those sweet tooth!!

Came by around lunch time while getting my bike serviced. I would say I just found my favourite cafe in the area! Lovely customer service and the burger was delicious! Chips were fried to perfection. Thickest thick shake I've came across so far. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area. 10/10 would recommend
